UPDATE: Flash flood warning still in effect across Jamaica
Persistent rain affecting a number of low-lying areas
Sunday, 23rd April 2017

A flash flood warning remains in effect for low-lying and flood-prone areas of St Ann, St Mary, Portland, St Thomas, Kingston and St Andrew, St Catherine, Clarendon and Manchester.
It is effective until 5pm today.
The Meteorological Service of Jamaica says a persistent trough across the western Caribbean and Jamaica continues to influence the weather conditions across the island.
Satellite imagery and Radar reports indicated that light to moderate showers affected sections of most parishes last night through this morning, with greater intensities across eastern and central parishes.
The Met Service is forecasting showers, which could be heavy at times, to continue to affect sections of central and eastern parishes today and tonight.
It says flash flooding is therefore imminent or likely over some low-lying and flood-prone areas of these parishes.
